Name: Heavy Midgets - Something Terrible EP - 02 Box of Wood by Heavy Midgets
Duration: 2 min 8 s
Description: Released on Bad Grrrl Records on January 1, 2012

To explore and absorb Planet Q, the new record by artists Kyoko Takenaka + Tomoki Sanders, is to become untethered from structural expectations, to reside in a realm where genre vanishes and a profound musical space remains, where the absence of gravity causes curious things to occur.

It’s a spot where handclaps may not move in time, where sonic gurgles of unknown origin offer texture, where a deep, hooky rhythm can propel a groove into the stratosphere.

At various times the tracks move like Dilla pieces, at others like Terry Riley explorations, like Flying Lotus or Milford Graves or Alice Coltrane meditations. But every time you think you’ve got the sound figured out, it hits from another angle. Though a brief missive at 33 minutes, you exit Planet Q as if leaving an utterly alien spot.

Heavy Midgets - Something Terrible EP - 02 Box of Wood

          Richmond, Virginia band Heavy Midgets were formed in 2011. After a series of line-up changes the band has settled in with members Charlanne McCarthy (vocals/guitar/bass), John Graham (vocals/guitar/bass), Ian McQuary (lead guitar/backup vocals) and Bren Hall (drums). Cutting their teeth playing house shows in and around Virginia, it wasn’t long until the band began filling the local clubs and venues with regularity. Their sound is difficult to pigeon-hole, bringing together many different elements ranging from power-pop, post-punk, pyschelic, goth, surf, garage and lo-fi. The resulting sound is one that is uniquely theirs and has earned them a diverse but dedicated fan-base.

          The unsigned band has released a 6-song EP titled Something Terrible and contributed 8 songs for the split LP Sisters with Richmond band TUNGS. Both were produced and distributed by Richmond label Bad Grrrl Records in 2012. The band is currently putting their final touches on a yet-to-be titled 12-song full length album, recorded by ‘Eyeball’ Jenkins, which is due to be released in the Fall of 2013.
